I see you opted for the divine intervention explanation. That may be true, but I find it too easy and pointless. An extremely thin basis for a movie, so thin in fact that I feel I am missing something and it bothers me tremendously. <br />TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8672005424133365490.post-74350994854643771462014-08-08T16:18:20.362-04:002014-08-08T16:18:20.362-04:00I think the fact that there wasn't a completed...I think the fact that there wasn't a completed script during filming created many problems for him and his cast.Kimberly J.M.

To me, it felt like Rosselini couldn't decide if this should be a travelogue or a relationship drama. Neither seemed to mesh with the other.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8672005424133365490.post-6599964211242662602014-07-19T14:43:43.308-04:002014-07-19T14:43:43.308-04:00I think that the editors of the 1001 book have som...I think that the editors of the 1001 book have some sort of director cannon and feel as if they must meet a quota system for each one, which often leads to them selecting films that are not at all exceptional.Kimberly J.M.

It's fine, I just didn't find it that exceptional. It's a domestic drama in an exotic location. <br /><br />And yeah, the ending is pretty dumb. This was a letdown after seeing Rossellini's Paisa and Rome, Open City.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.com
